| We are again forced to- take hold of
| the reprobate editor of the Times Union,
and it is under compuision only that We
| touch the morally ''uDclean thing
whose coarse phraseolOgy in his last ar
| ticle would Indicate that he served in
Five Points journalism, to cater to the
| taste of the siums of Gotham. before he
came TO Florida. Reminding our read
ers of the fact that in every article since
he attacked us we have proved falsehood
upon him, ''gOt his scalp on each coca
sion. we will proceed to do the same
thing in this BY stating that in his pa
per of day before yesterday he again de-
MES that the "printing section" appeared
in the journal of the convention. BY
that journal we proved his falsehOOd.
and we need not quote it again. He
then cOntradicts himself by saying il
was adopted, and proves the lie on hIm-
self when he said it did not appear in the
journal. We need not again quote the
journal proceeding and Convention
Rule "a, to show that it only passed a
first reading and never was adopted.
He only seeks to muddle the matter and
deceive the uniformed by this miser-
able twaddle.
We pass now to- a point which fOrCI-
BILE demonstrates his utter and most un-
scrupulous falsity and crookedness: In
his paper of December 10, as also in a
subsequent issue, he stated, 1T the
proper time IRE shall gre q complete
history Of the mysterious dtsdrp c,ndHce"
of the printing section-and we de
handed then, us we did afterwards, and
now do again, N the name of the people.
that he should tell what he SAID he knew.
Now mark that he is asking for infOr-
nation, though he asserted he could
"give a complete history" for in his pa
per of last Monday he says I'VE will be
willing to utilize any light on the subJect
that may be furnished from any source,
and in his paper of last Monday he adj
vertises light wanted Was there ever an
other such contemplate, skulking fellow
misplaced in the honorable profession
of journalism which he disgraces.
Three times in the course of his arti-
Gle of Tuesday, he has the insOlence to
ask us what became of the missing sec
JiOn and why it was not prInted-h@
asks this who asserted and reasseTted
that he could give "a complete history
OF the matter. In his Tuesday article he
saws: 1T will be remembered that the
Times Union made no charge against
the editor of the F7OriCiidIt nor the State
Printer" and il will be remembered also
that the libellous rogue Cunnlngly
avoided this direct charge of suppress
ing the section that would have cost
him libel suit, but implied it in an ar
ticle attacking us; and that he, Jones,
reprinted from another paper, without
comment or disavou nj, its statement
that he, Jones. had charged us with the
infamy. Every reader of his paper saw
that it was in fact charge, and noted
the cOwardly and sneaking method of il,
characteristic of this notorious and ma
licious poltrOon and tergiversatOr. We
demand again that he publish his ICONS
plete history of the mysterious dIsap
pearance." Is he waiting to be paid for
it, or when he said he knew it did he
simply lie, with only the object Of cast
ing an infamous suspicion: It would
seem that he simply lied, and is now
trying to get up some sort of ''histOry"
to get himself out of the scrape inIO
which the lie got him. Is this wretChed
apology for man utterly iost To shame:
liz would seem SO, for in his Tuesday :
article he voluntarily refers to his ''Old
Timer Letter. and conceding that his
racity has been impeached bv pretty
much every dcad-beat i'm the State
thus airing his slum vocabulary by ap-
plying the term dead beats" to the
Democratic people of Florida slandered
in that article. We close by quoting
from his article of Tuesday. the follow
ing elegant samples of its tone and Ian
guage-''ribald blaCkguardism. foul
mouthed black guard; and by suggest
ing that he take lis ll-gotten noodle and
go back To congeuiul slumS.
